Schoology: Creating / Editing Folders

To create a folder, navigate to your Course Materials page and follow these steps:

1. Click Add Materials
2. Select Add Folder
3. In the Create Folder window:
   
   
   1. Enter a Title for the folder.
   2. Choose a folder color (optional) – this is useful for adding another level of visual organization to your course.
   3. Enter a description (optional). The description displays on the course profile below the folder name. This may be a good place to include instructions or outline what the objectives of the lesson are for your students.
   4. Use the Rich Text Editor tools along the top of the description field to:
      • Apply bold, italic, or underline fonts.
      • Add a bullet or number list.
      • Select text color.
      • Apply strikethrough, superscript, or subscript.
      • Change the indent and alignment of selected text.
      • Insert attachments such as images or links.
      • Spellcheck the description.
   5. Add a start date if you'd like the folder to display in the course calendar.
   6. Add an end date to remove the folder from the course calendar after the end date passes.
   7. Set the Availability of the folder:
      • Published (Visible to students).
      • Unpublished (Hidden from students).
      • Publish on start date.
      • Published during date range.
4. Click Create to complete.

Once you've created multiple folders, you can drag and drop them to change the order in which they appear. Click on the folder you'd like to reorder (click and hold for about 1-2 seconds). Then drag the item to the appropriate location and release the mouse. This relocation will save automatically.
